Woodchester is a small village in the district of Stroud, Gloucestershire, set in a wooded valley on the edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in south-west England. It sits close to towns such as Nailsworth and the centre of Stroud, and is prized for its rolling limestone scenery, wooded slopes and easy access to countryside walks.
Locally the village is best known for Woodchester Park and the striking unfinished Victorian Gothic Woodchester Mansion, which attract walkers and visitors interested in history and nature. The economy and social life combine traditional agriculture and small local businesses with commuting to nearby centres, while a compact community feel and occasional village events give it a quietly rural, culturally rooted character.
